Foodie Favourites No.04: The Butcher's Son

Ingredients: Meat & more. 'nuff said? Attention meat eaters The Butcher's Son wants to feed you tasty meat products and other delicious goodies. I have been trying their sandwiches out lately at lunch and they are positively mouth street! Get it in the pie hole good. My favourite is the spicy chicken but the porchetta is pork-alicious as well. Next up will be the steak sandwich with caramelized onions and mushrooms of course. Take a look...

Django Unchained: The D Is Silent

I got a sneak peek at a movie coming out Christmas day. Jamie Foxx plays the title role of love lorn slave turned, gunslinging bounty hunter in Quentin Tarantino's adaptation of the 1966 Spaghetti Western Django. It's a great homage and Frank Nero even makes a cameo appearance. There's no coffin in this version since the director had already done something similar in Desparado with a guitar case. Here we have Django, a man freed from slavery by a German dentist/bounty hunter in pre-Civil War times. They join forces collecting bountys on wanted men while plotting to rescue Django's wife Broomhilda from the clutches of Candie Land Plantation owner, Calvin Candie played by Leonardo DiCaprio.  A violent, bloody, racially and emotionally charged tale of vengeance. Truly a spectacle of Tarantino proportions with period parley, bloody gunfights, explosions, mandingo fighting and romance! This is his best flick since Jackie Brown. It won't go without it's critics. If Spike Lee had a problem with the amount of N-bombs used in that movie, he's not gonna be happy about this one. Oh ya...at 165 minutes you should probably go with large size snacks.

Photo Adventure No.05: Bowlerama

Ahh the smell of oiled lanes and old shoes. There's a certain romance I have for bowling. As a youth it was something to do in the winter when I couldn't skateboard and didn't want to hang out at the mall. One of my favourite movies has bowling at it's core. The Big Lebowski is a classic Coen brothers reworking of The Big Sleep, starring Jeff Bridges as The Dude. There's a scene where Walter (John Goodman's Character) pulls a gun on a fellow league member for stepping over the lane line. He threatens Smokey to "mark it zero or enter a world of hurt". In a real life ironic twist someone was shot at the Bowlerama near where I lived. Maybe bowling is more hardcore than I thought. Bowling PIX
